PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The panelists will discuss the state-of-the-art management of both common and rare pediatric, airway lesions in the hospital and out-patient setting. They will outline their diagnostic approach to pediatric airway problems such as laryngomalacia and will address the surgical management of severe laryngomalacia including both laser and cold steal approaches. They will discuss the endoscopic management of other congenital and acquired cysts and lesions including subglottic and vallecular cysts and will discuss the comprehensive surgical management of subglottic stenosis ranging from endoscopic lysis and balloon dilation to endoscopic posterior costal cartilage grafting. They will also discuss the medical and surgical approach to laryngotracheal clefts and aspiration and will also include a detailed discussion of the aerodigestive team management of pediatric airway disorders including the role of the speech and swallowing therapist. Participants will be able to perform basic procedures on 3-D printed simulation models of several disease pathologies including laryngotracheal clefts, subglottic stenosis and laryngomalacia. Karl Storz Endoscopy, Inc. will help support the session with endoscopy equipment.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 1: To be able to perform repair of grade 1 and 2 Laryngotracheal Cleft using a 3 D printed model with improvement in surgical skills

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 2: To be able to perform endoscopic treatment of subglottic stenosis and balloon dilation with the 3 D models

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 3: To be able to perform supraglottoplasty using the 3 D models.

BACKGROUND STATEMENT: The simulation will allow practicing otolaryngologists to refine and perfect their skills at performing endoscopic pediatric airway surgery.
These include: Repair of Laryngotracheal Clefts, endoscopic dilation for subglottic stenosis and supraglottoplasty for severe laryngomalacia
